Steam Locomotives

Please note that for the purposes of this page, 'In
service' is a general term indicating that the locomotives are
not undergoing major repair and are normally available for
service. They may not be in service on any specific day
because of minor repairs, boiler washouts, not required, etc.
Occasionally they may even be on short term loan
elsewhere.

BR 4MT 2-6-0 - 76084

In service

76084 was built at Horwich in 1957, as part of an order for British Railways. The engine spent its working life in the North West, initially shedded at Darwen, before moving round and finishing up at Wigan, from where the engine went to Barry scrapyard.

LNER Y7 0-4-0T - 985

Off site on loan

The Y7 was built in 1923 as a dock shunting locomotive, hence the small wheelbase to allow for tight curves. The engine worked for the LNER, followed by British Railways until 1952, when it was sold to the National Coal Board.

The Y7 is away from the NNR on loan for the summer

GER Y14 0-6-0 - 564

In service

The Y14 was built at Stratford in 1912 for use on pick-up goods and branch passenger trains across the Great Eastern Railway network. The engine survived until dieselisation, when it was preserved by the M&GN society. It ran for a while in the guise of a J15 locomotive, however an overhaul by the M&GN Society which cost more than £350,000 has seen it return to service in a condition closely matching that as when it entered service as built by the Great Eastern Railway.

For more detailed information consult the Y14/J15
page on the M&GN Society website.
